BROME--DRY LAND MIXTURES -

Brome is high and scarce this year and there isn’t enough to go around,
However, this Brome Mixture for permanent hay and pasture is plentiful right
at the moment.

Tt contains one-half Brome with other hardy native dry land grasses, such as
Crested Wheat, Blue Stem, Gramma, Slender Wheat and others that do so well
in drier sections of the country. It is good the year around as it makes a firm

sod, good for winter pasture., Sow 12

well in a firm seed bed. Add 5 pounds;
ef alfalfa to the acre if you wish. The
alfalfa and Brome can he _poetesee

WARNING!

Much of the loeally grown Sudan, Millet, Cane and Milo seed is low | 2

I ran on to an aiteresting article the oth-
er day in one of the bulletins from the Wis-

consin Experiment Station, and I have seen a

this information somewhere before too. It
was stated that five-year tests at several
of the Experiment Stations in the Mid-West

had proven that round kernel corn had giv- | |
en 2% bushels more average yield per acre —

than planting the flat kernels off of the
same ear.

It seems as though the round kernels

have more protection for the germ of the
corn and carry more available food for the
young seedlings, making them more vigor-
ous and able to start quicker and get to
maturity in better shape.
the only explanation that I could give for
it, but it sounds reasonably O.K. You
know, the breeding and blood lines are the
same in Hybrid Corn no matter whether
it comes off the center part of the ear and
is flat in shape, or whether it comes off the
butt or tip end and is round in shape. Most.
modern corn planters can be equipped for

about $1.25 for a set of plates today that

will plant in a uniformly round graded corn.
I know most of our round kernel grade can
be planted with a John Deere 5511 or 5209.

I have forgotten just what the McCormick 7

Deering plate number is, but the plates are
rei too.
